Hi,

there is one small change I would like to see in the today widget with selector switches. I have a couple of them setup to send basic commands through Harmony remote (like volume up/down) which I'd need to be able to press repeatedly. Now it seems that if the selector switch is at a certain position, you cannot "push again" for the same command, but need to select another switch state first. In web gui at least it works so that you can press the same switch state over and over again

Help! The beta version has expired and no new release yet, so Pilot is no longer available for me unless I downgrade to the old release...

Why don't you install the AppStore version?
It's as up to date as the current beta

[rgroothuis]

The version in the App store is 1.8.2 dated 10 July 2016. Is that the same as the beta version?

Ah, great, thanks. Downloaded the App store version and got it working again.
Any new versions coming soon?

hello all,
i finally bit the bullet and purchased Pilot..yay me.
i have fully commited to domoticz as my main HA now and sold my vera, my domoticz is working far better than i ever managed to get the vera system to.
thanks for a great app, made even better by my purchase.

how is everyone using remote access ? via the nginx reverse proxy and x509 or just plain expose a port to the net and enable built in web security ?
thanks

i have a bluetooth dongle plugged in, In an ibeacon capacity but obviously when leaving i dont get the geofence to turn the local switch off as i am usually out of range of my wifi.

I have been looking at ways to implement the geofence without exposing my domoticz and not having to setup another docker with Nginx or install more stuff on my pi, I found these links which may do it,

https://github.com/enkydu/raspi_runner

Ifttt Recipie
Run bash commands on Raspberry Pi by e-mail https://ifttt.com/recipes/105292-run-ba ... -by-e-mail

I don't know if it's better or worse or even easier to implement.
I might buy a pi3 and move everything over to that from docker on my nas and implement x509/Nginx, thoughts ? Advice ?
Geofence is my number one issue

I am using NGINX but without x509 as this does not work with Pilot unfortunately. Also using My.Domoticz.com is not (yet?) possible with Pilot.

For Geofencing to work you could enable mobile data and use VPN?

[deejc]

I was expecting some kind of automatic geofencing with out having to resort to vpns etc , shame my.domoticz is still down, that looked so promising.
I would have donated to see it working.
Even pilot with SSL would be great I would setup a reverse proxy

For Geofencing to be able to activate a switch in Domoticz the App of course needs a data-connection to Domoticz.
So you will have to connect it to the internet and use mobile data connection. You use the build in ssl webserver or put a reverse proxy in front of it, like I did.

[deejc]

Yes I understand but without the ssl / x509 cert it's vulnerable to brute force attacks as I don't think domoticz has a lock out feature / reporting ?

OwnTracks app over secured MQTT (http://rockingdlabs.dunmire.org/exercis ... ecure-mqtt) to node-red, which has a flow to do the logic, which then just sets text sensors in Domoticz.

[deejc]

I was hoping for a much more plug and play method, ie no more setup At the moment I think homebridge is working as it traverses the network via the atv and I can set a switch on / off although I haven't tested it yet

Is there a problem with just creating location-triggered rules in Eve then???

[deejc]

That's what I am trying from today, I actually forgot I could use eve/home for this

A few weeks ago, I tried implementing x509. Was a huge pain in the ass.
As we speak, I have not yet found a way to implement. None at all.

If anyone has dev tips on how to implement x509 client auth in an iOS mobile app, please let me know. I have looked all around the web, and no luck there. :/

MyDomoticz support would be a solution, not a perfect solution but a solution nonetheless. Thing is, App support is still not available. :/

For anyone interested, beta phase for the 1.9.0 version has begun. If you are not a beta tester yet, PM me your appleID so that I can add you to the list.
Not much new stuff on this one, focus on stability and iOS 10 compatibility.

I am also trying out a new business model by adding ads in the app.
To make up for it, some previously premium features are now free.
In the long run, my plan is to make most of the features available for free, and keep only very specific ones in the premium.

As usual, feel free to share your thoughts here or by email, your feedback is very important to me
